NECK'IIE AND COLLAR FASTENING.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Nov. 22, 1910.

Application filed May 6, 1910. Serial No. 559,780.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LOUIS J OHANN FER- DINAND HUBERT, a subject of the Emperor of Germany, residing at Leipzig, Germany, have invented certain Improvements in Necktie and Collar Fastenings, of which the following is a specification.

The present invention relates to a necktie and collar fastening of the kind having a base plate connected to the back of the tie and a hinged, spring-pressed shackle mounted on said base plate for attaching the tie to the collar.

According to the invention the fastening, which is intended for use in connection wit-h turn-down collars, is provided with a shackle adapted to be passed over the edge of the collar and through the button holes of the shirt as well as of the collar, then to be connected with its free, arrow-shaped end to the base plate. In this manner a secure and readily manipulated fastening is obtained and the use of collar stud is obviated.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 representing a sectional side View of the arrangement, Fig. 2, a side elevation with opened shackle, Fig. 3, a view of the shackle, Fig. 4, a plan of the arrangement, Fig. 5, a front view, Fig. 6, a perspective view of the necktie with its fastening, and Fig. 7, a sectional side view of a somewhat modified construction.

A base plate a is fitted with holes 6 to allow of fastening the same to the back piece m of the necktie. Between brackets c on said base plate is pivoted a shackle (Z which is formed so as to allow of being passed over the edge of a collar and through the button holes of the shirt as well as of the collar, then to be connected with its free end to the plate. For this purpose the free end of the shackle has an extension 6 formed as an arrow-head and provided at the point with an up-turned catch f adapted to engage the edge of an aperture 9 in the plate, the shackle being sufficiently spring-acting for allowing the engagement. The rearward widening of the extension 6 prevents the same from being too far introduced into the aperture g. The shackle is controlled by a blade spring h which abuts against the surfaces z' and is for retaining it in closed and open position respectively.

A modification is shown in Fig. 7 where the blade spring is arranged at the back of the base plate a and adapted to abut against the sides of a square enlargement on the pivoted end of the shackle, said enlargement projecting through a slot in the plate.

The device is fastened in any suitable manner, for instance by stitching, to the back of the piece m of the necktie, as shown in Fig. 6. Then the tie is to be connected to the collar, the shackle (Z is opened, as shown in Fig. 2, and then passed from the inside through the button holes of shirt and collar whereupon it is closed on the plate a as shown in Fig. 1. The flaps of the back piece m are finally introduced underneath the flaps of the collar whereupon the elements are securely connected. The employment of a collar stud is thus obviated and as is also the use of an elastic for fastening the tie.

The device is easy to manipulate and is perfectly reliable.

I claim A' necktie and collar fastening, for turndown collars, of the character described, comprising a base plate to be connected to the back of the necktie, a spring-pressed shackle pivoted with one end to the plate and adapted to be passed with the other end over the edge of the collar and through the button holes of the shirt and the collar, an arrow-head on the free end of the shackle, and a catch on the point of said head to engage an aperture in the base plate after the shackle has been passed through the collar, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
